I'm off for surgery on Friday, finally having completed all the hoop-jumping required of me -- including 2 months of therapy and a ton of work-ups of various natures.

I realize I don't know any of you in person and I'm not exactly the most amiable person.. but I figured I might as well tell you what's up anyway. I've been around here for quite some time, after all, so I almost feel obligated to say SOMETHING.

Does feel a tad bit awkward, though... so uh....

I'll be in the hospital for up to 6 days... I'll update here after that.
